Fraud Alert: Better Business Bureau email scam
An email with the
subject line “Complaint from your customers” is circulating and may be a scam,
according to an urgent scam alert by the Council of Better Business Bureaus.
The email appears to
come from a Better Business Bureau employee about a recently filed complaint
with the organization and tells recipients to review the matter and advise the
organization of their position on the complaint.
Recipients are directed
to a link which the email claims will take the reader to the organization’s
website. In fact, the link takes recipients elsewhere, where a virus is
downloaded to their computer. An attachment in the email also may contain
a virus.
The Better Business
Bureau has requested that recipients of the scam email alert the organization
at https://www.bbb.org/scam/report-a-scam/.
